Hi, Alexander!  Recently you wrote in a message to All:

         ... usually in Italian, German, or French.  :-Q

         I've noticed similar tendencies in Shakespeare's plays.  The plots
are often quite complicated, and when various people get into a brawl in Act V
they go on at length to inform us they're dying.  Maybe that is what had to be
done, years ago, to reassure paying audiences they'd got their money's
worth....  :-)
